1. Stretch your Hamstrings - Lay on your back, thirty times a day in three sets of ten repetitions. Start before getting out of bed, leg straight, circles with your foot.

2. Use a moist heating and on your back, two pillows under your knees for twenty minutes, three times a day. Those lumbar muscles fatigue then tear resulting in spasm. That tear misaligns the sacroiliac joint the most common cause of low back pain actually mimicking a disc herniation. 80% of low back pain is not caused from a herniated disc, but from a S.I joint misalignment and lumbar muscle tearing, so nurture with heat and rest those lumbars and they will support you.

3. Check out the McKenzie protocol for stretching and strengthening especially prone hyperextension, but tips one and two never let anything interfere with these first two.

4. Cardiovascular and proper breathing techniques. Reclined bicycle and fast to regular speed walks at least three times a week. Of course, swimming is the gold standard for non-weight bearing C.V. exercise and toning. Muscles need oxygen to fire.

5. Lean towards a vegetarian whole grain daily food plan.

6. Positive Mental Attitude - Reinforcement every five minutes. Talk to yourself. Everything is O.K. I can do this, I will do it, I am doing it.

7. Avoid Flexion-Bending forward and sitting. If sitting is vital, boost up on a wedge tilting you forward, thereby restoring the natural lumbar lordosis.

8. A healthy neck, upper/mid back and low back are a daily life style of standing, (check out- Alexander Technique), sitting and sleeping correctly. Defy one of these starting in the morning, it all falls apart collectively.

9. Be a proactive, compliant, self-caring manager of your own health and life, of course. Be enthusiastic, pain and poverty are horrific and preventable.

10. Periodical spinal check-ups to any professional practicing manipulative medical procedures. Presently, your chiropractor is the specialist for this and the most versed and experienced. In your insurance company, managed care directories under specialists, this will check for spinal and pelvic misalignment from prior falls or accidents, emotional stress or chemical stress. These misalignments (subluxations) are like dental cavities. These spinal and pelvic misalignments (called subluxation by medicare.com) can be hidden for a long time, then cause acute or chronic symptoms. Have them corrected preventatively at your monthly chiropractic check-up.

The Multiple Ways a Medical Oncology and Hematology Expert Witness Can Assist in Issues of Medical Malpractice

By: Dr. Robert Burdick

"Has the standard of care been violated?" is the basic question in all medical malpractice cases, the answer to which may be difficult to determine because the standard of care is often unwritten, can be ever changing, and is a blend of academic and private practice opinions. In addition to having a broad base of experience with both private practice and academic medicine the expert witness must be current with the medical literature, knowledgeable about solid tumors such as cancer of the breast, lung, colon, thyroid, tongue, larynx, head and neck, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, anus, skin, melanoma, liver, kidneys, bladder, pancreas, ovary, testicle, hepatoma, and sarcoma, as well as soft tissue malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma, the acute and chronic leukemia's, multiple myeloma, anemias, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia.
